Here’s how you can help:
If you are a pharmaceutical manufacturer, distributor or representative, doctor, nurse, dentist, or other health care professional:
We accept prescription and over-the-counter medicines, medical supplies and equipment, hospital uniforms and linens, eyeglasses, dental and dental hygiene equipment and instruments. We do not handle any narcotics and we only accept items that are unopened and sealed.
If you are planning a trip to Cuba or other developing country:
Please contact us if you would like to take a suitcase of medicine/medical
supplies to your destination Full suitcases weigh no more than 10 kilograms.
Note: Travelers are cautioned that the suitcase of medicines will form part
of their personal baggage weight allowance. Although some airlines are lenient,
the travelers may have to assume excess baggage costs if baggage weight limits
are exceeded.
